For those who enjoy Kristen Ashley books, it’s a solid addition to her list. I didn’t like it quite as much as The Will– I think Jake and Josie had a better conflict and Jake had his head up his ass less than Mickey – but it was still a lot of fun. Soaring was an enjoyable read and had all my favourite things – the female friendships, the big loving family which only got bigger over the course of the book, the humour and the sparkle between Amelia, the heroine, and Mickey, the hero. (These days making it to my TBR is but one step in a process which most often doesn’t result in the book ever being opened.) Add to that, alpha heroes who are devoted to their ladies and to their family and, very often, to their community, and laugh out loud funny humour, well it’s not a wonder I not only pre-order your books but I actually read them too. Much to my surprise, it turns out those things are big attractors for me. I also know I’m going to get wonderful female friendships, a large and loving family (either born or made) and a sense of community. I know I am going to get some convoluted sentence structure which, on occasion, I may have to read more than once to understand. There are a lot of similarities to your work, but I find it a feature, not a bug. Of course, what makes it different than a true comfort read is that I haven’t read the book before – and as I’m not a big re-reader this is a perfect hybrid for me. I’ve a fair idea of what I’m going to get and I know I will be entertained. Your books have become a kind of comfort read for me.
I pre-ordered Soaring and was a little bummed I had to wait a few days before I could dive in once it downloaded to my reader. Kaetrin B Reviews Contemporary / Small-Town 12 Comments
